I've been coding for a large *company* (think government) for about 4 years now and have felt very little stress for timelines. Sure, every now and then when the next big milestone comes up there may be a few nights of extra hours to catch back up with timelines, but on the whole it's pretty stable.
Stability in your job is one thing you'll need as you'll no longer have it at the home. Kids....whew!
This is often the case with many services that you go under contract with. The article mentions that cable companies are the only service ranked below cell phones. Again, many companies have contracts with you for cable service.
There is little incentive for them to provide anything additional at this point, so this behavior is not surprising.
